Words mean something to Jim Harbaugh

Jim Harbaugh will often take a moment to answer a question, that’s because he parses his words carefully. So when Harbaugh characterizes himself as “moody and complicated” which he has said a couple of times, he doesn’t mean, “moody and difficult.”

Unfortunately, I wrote “moody and difficult” the other day.

Lots of people like to characterize Harbaugh in different ways, but we shouldn’t mess up how the 49ers surprisingly successful head coach characterizes himself and that would be “moody and complicated.”

Harbaugh also chooses his words with care with his team, which might be the reason he’s able to motivate. In this video, Harbaugh explains his use of blue work shirts, which he distributed earlier this year to his players and coaches.
